Here are some rumors that are floating around. I know for one I am interested in this army along with Witch Hunters. So hopefully they are this good haha. Also in terms of theme would be nice seeing as they are saying Grey knights USED to be death Guard.
Grey Knight Special Rules:
Aegis: Psykers targeting a squad with Aegis suffer -1
Ld.
Reinforced Aegis: Psykers targeting a squad is within 12" of a Venerable Dreadnought suffer -4
Ld.
And They Shall Know No Fear: Same as C:
SM.
Combat Squads: Same as C:
SM.
Psyker Pilots: Vehicles have
Ld 10 for purposes of using powers. A Perils of the Warp results in a glancing hit.
Brotherhood of Psykers: The Justicar or Knight of flame's
Ld is used to cast powers. Similarly, Perils of the Warp and other attacks that specifically target psykers are resolved against the Justicar or Knight of Flame. If neither is alive or the unit is composed of similar models, such as Terminator Squads, then a random model is used each time. Independent Characters cannot lend their
Ld to a unit for the purpose of casting powers.
Psyker Mastery Levels: Character can use 1 psychic power per turn for each level (so 2 powers per turn at level 2).
Preferred Enemy: Demons
Wargear:
Nemesis Weapons: *Seem* be power weapons, with the ability to turn one of them into a force weapon per turn. Very vague at this point.
Upgrades can be taken for any squad with nemesis force weapons:[
Nemesis Daemonhammer: +1 Strength (+? Points)
Nemesis Force Halberds: +1 Initiative. (+2 to +5 points depending on the unit)
Nemesis Falchions: Force Lightning Claws, taken only as pairs (+5 Points for the pair?)
Nemesis Warding Stave: Power weapon that conveys a 2++ Invulnerable save. (+2o to +25 points depending on the unit)
Storm-bolters: As Storm-bolters. [Needs to confirmed but they may act as a pistol (extra +1A) in assault...]
Daemonhammer: A thunderhammer with daemonbane.
Daemonbane: Re-roll to hit and wound against daemons.
Psycannon: Str 7
AP 4 36" Assault 2/Heavy 3, Rending.
Incinerator: Str 5
AP 4 Template, Rending.
Personal Teleporter: The unit moves as if it had a jump pack, but it's type does not actually change. In addition, once per game the unit may move (teleport, really) 30" though it cannot assault afterwards.
Psyk-Out Grenades: Reduce morale of the unit they assault.
Warp Stabilization Field: Negates Perils of the Warp on the model. (Vehicles/Dreadnoughts only?)
Psychic Powers:
Hammer Hand: +1 strength in Close Combat
Warp Quake: Any deepstriking unit that lands within 12" suffers automatic mishap.
Holocaust: S5 AP - Large Blast 12"
Quicksilver: Unit becomes Initiative 10
Warp-Rift: Template that auto removes models from play
The Summoning: A single friendly unit that is anywhere on the table is placed within 6" of the librarian and counts as deepstriking.
Smite: As C:SM
Might of Titan: Beginning of librarians assault phase. Unit within 6" gains +1 str and extra D6 armour pen vs vehicles. Bonus is cumulative with hammerhand.
The Shrouding: Opponents shooting phase. All units within 6" gain stealth (minimum 5+ cover in the open).
Mind Blades: Start of any assault phase. One enemy unit within 6" loses 1 toughness for the rest of the assault phase.
Vortex of Doom: As C:SM
Sanctuary: Enemy assault phase. Enemy units wishing to assault any Grey Knight within 12" of librarian must make a difficult AND dangerous terrain test.
Psychic Communion (Grandmaster and Captain only): Take a psychic test. If passed, you may modify any reserve rolls by + or -1.
Heroic Sacrifice (Brotherhood Champion only): In assault, when the champion dies take a psychic test. If passed, make one attack against any one model that was in B2B with him. If the attack hits, that model is instantly removed!
Cleansing Flame (Purifiers only): Start of any assault phase. All enemy models that are part of the same assault suffer a wound on a 4+ before any blows are struck with saving throws allowed. Casualties count towards combat resolution.
Astral Aim (Purgation Squad only): Shooting Phase. Unit and attached characters may fire at any unit in range and regardless of line of sight. Target automatically gets a 4+ cover save that cannot be modified.
Reconstruction (Techmarines only): Beginning of techmarine's movement. Re-roll any repair roll.
Fortitude (Vehicle only): At the start of Grey Knight player's turn, removes any shaken or stunned results.
Zone of Banishment(Captain Stern only): During Stern's assault phase. All models (friend, foe & even Stern) within 6" make a strength test or are removed from play. Daemons must re-roll passed tests.
I Shall Not Yield (Justicar Thawn only): Used when Justicar Thawn is killed. Acts as We'll Be Back on a 4+.
